Somebody's Done For Paperback – 18 August 2023

Everybody's done for when they catch sight of Vera, doomed under the siren-spell of this Idee Fixe of a woman, the Ultimate Femme Fatale/Ideal and Unattainable/Damsel if Distress/Liebestod. Is she an Ice Maiden to all but Our Hero? Contrasting with the rest of the cast wanting to kill each other, themselves, Somebody's Done For is David Goodis' most multifaceted plot and character orbit, tangled histories, fates, destinies, epiphanies, futilities.I'm not reading these in any particular order, but again, my most recent Goodis is my new favorite.

The last Goodis novel is the culmination of a lifetime of suffering, repression and research. This is what makes Goodis Goodis!
